Some broadcasts transmit an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) in which case, using the TV con-
trols, the program you wish to record can be selected and used to program the VCR automat-
ically. This feature is compatible with NexTView TV’s. Refer to your TV operation manual for 
further information. After transfer of the timer information to the VCR, the timer menu will be dis-
played for approximately 5 seconds, after which press 
TIMER ON/OFF
 once to place the 
VCR in STANDBY mode. 
 will be shown on the display.
NOTES: 
A fully wired scart must be used for DIRECT TV RECORD operation.
If DIRECT TV RECORD could not start, the TV should indicate the reason why.
(Refer to the TV operation manual). 
The timer menu will not be displayed if this procedure is carried out while the VCR is in 
STANDBY mode.
VPS/PDC is a signal broadcast by some TV stations which adjusts the start and stop time 
of your VCR recording. This ensures that if there is a change in broadcast time for your 
programme the VCR will still record the whole programme. It is essential that the start 
time as it appears in the TV listing is used to program the VCR, as this information is used 
to identify the VPS/PDC signal corresponding to your programme.
If 
 flashes a video tape has not been inserted into the VCR.
During recording, press STOP (
) to cancel the recording. If there are further recordings 
to be made, the VCR will return to TIMER STANDBY.
